Frequently Asked Questions
Everyone is uncertain of endeavouring into the world of development! Let us try and reassure you that you are doing the right thing.
01 When will I receive my joining Instructions?
Joining instructions for PPD courses are sent two weeks prior to the course start date, or immediately if the booking is confirmed within this time frame. For course bookings made via PPD but delivered by a third-party supplier, joining instructions are sent to attendees prior to the training course.
02 When will I receive my pre-course work?
Pre-course work is sent directly to the attendee upon confirmation of the course booking. On the rare occasions where the pre-course work is posted to attendees (e.g. SIA courses), please provide a postal address at the point of booking.
03 What do I need to bring with me to the course?
Once you are booked and confirmed on the course, Joining Instructions will be sent to you. The instructions will outline what you need to bring with you on the day.
04 Are Apprenticeships available for existing staff?
An apprentice doesn’t have to be someone new – one of your current staff could be an ideal candidate for an Apprenticeship. This is a great way to up-skill and nurture the talent already under your roof.
